CHAPTER 7
Never Happened

I could see it in Lumi’s eyes from the way she looked at me in the mirror. She hadn’t forgotten that night when she kissed Logan and suffered my wrath for it. I’d overreacted and trapped her in my bathroom as if she was mine to control.
Lumi had set me straight back then, and seeing her now, almost nine years later, she was as smart, rich, and independent as she had predicted that she would be.
Apologizing for something that far in our past wouldn’t make a difference, so I put on a carefree smile, and turned to place my hands on her shoulders. “Will we go for a dance for the craic?”
Lumi hesitated.
“Come on, don’t be boring,” I pressured.
“One dance.”
“That’s the spirit.” I led her out of the bathroom and made a show on the dance floor that had Lumi and the others laughing.
When we left Logan’s apartment three hours later, Lumi and I were both happy-drunk.
“I’m pleased that you and Logan are friends again,” Lumi said and linked her arm under my elbow.
“Don’t get too excited. It’s more like we tolerate each other.”
It was rare to see Lumi let loose, but she sang along with my silly songs and giggled when I almost slipped.
Back in the apartment, we made a quick video diary for Jolene with a lot of giggling before we unlocked the handcuffs and got ready for bed. When we put the cuffs on again, we changed hands so that my left hand got linked to her right hand.
“Then you need to sleep on the right side of the bed,” she instructed, but I refused.
“I want to be closest to the door.”
“Then how do you propose that we sleep?”
“On our stomachs.”
“I don’t like falling asleep on my stomach.”
“Then you can fall asleep in my arms.” I directed her into a spooning position, and with my chained hand around her, it worked.
“I don’t like to spoon.” Lumi yawned. “I never spoon.”
I smiled and kissed her hair. “Good night, Lumi.”
We had only been quiet for a minute when her phone vibrated.
“Someone texted ye,” I said without opening my eyes.
“Who would text me at two in the morning?” Lumi reached for her phone and came back to rest her head on my arm as she checked the message. “Geez.”
Her sound of surprise made me open my eyes to see a photo of an erect cock with the text, “Wishing you were here.”
“Are ye focking kidding me? Did Logan just send ye a dick-pick?”
“Yes.” Lumi turned off her phone and placed it on the mattress with a sigh.
“Did ye ask for a picture?”
